When: Thursday 14 September 2023 6.30pm for a 7pm start – 8.30pm
Soon we will be asked in a Referendum whether to alter the Australian Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by creating a body called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.
To enable an informed choice, the Illawarra Centre for Enablement (ICfE) invites you to an evening with leading Indigenous lawyer and Uluru Dialogue member, Eddie Synot who will present & discuss what is a First Nations’ Voice and why it is needed, as well as objections raised. The evening will include an audience Q&A.
Eddie Synot is a Wemba Wemba First Nations public lawyer and researcher. Eddie is a Lecturer at Griffith Law School, Griffith University and a Research Fellow at the Indigenous Law Centre (ILC) UNSW. Eddie has worked with the Uluru Dialogue and the ILC UNSW since 2018. Eddie’s research focuses on Indigenous peoples and the law, especially public and constitutional law.
